Bob:
  We did the same here not too long ago, and I was able to offer chemicals to list folk cheaply to get them out of the stores.  You might consider the same.  We had, for example, 20 bottle of potassium dichromate in the chemical stores, and needed one.  The rest went for 5-10$ a bottle to list members.
  All this to say - ask how much they need to remove from the shelves, and let us know if there is surplus.  It can save the college a lot of money, keep the chemicals out of the landfills, and make a bit of money for your program.

DEAR LIST,

            I have the curious opportunity of submitting a 
wish list to the
local university chem lab manager.  They are culling 
chemicals that are not
or are no longer required for their syllabus.  They are 
having a toxic waste
service dispose of the chems and this will cost them money. 
Though they
will not let me wander through their storage area they will 
take my wish
list and get me anything they have that is on my list.  I 
will actually be
saving them money because they will be paying for everything 
the waste
disposal service has to carry away.

            This long explanation is to let you know why I 
am asking for
suggestions for my wish list.  Basically I want to add just 
about any chem I
might ever use for alt photo!  My main interests are pt/pd, 
cyano, salt,
albumen, and gum as well as toners for silver-gelatin 
prints.

            Sooooooooooo, if anyone is willing to compile a 
list of what
they think a good alt photo lab should have in inventory, 
please let me
know.  I think this would be interesting for many list 
members, especially
those newer to these processes so I hope the "minders" don't 
object to this
being done on-list.

                        CHEERS!

                                    BOB


     Don't forget the common conventional chemicals, see if 
they want to give away any photographic developers, sulfite, 
carbonates, hydroxide, hypo, and etc.
